Cubs trade Lillibridge to Yankees

June 21, 2013|By Fred Mitchell, Tribune reporter

The Chicago Cubs completed a minor league trade on Friday, dealing infielder Brent Lillibridge from their Triple-A Iowa to the Yankees organization.

Lillibridge, 29, is a .207 career hitter in six major league seasons. He spent parts of four seasons with the White Sox. He was just 1-for-24 in nine games with the Cubs this season when he was sent down to the minors.

The Cubs will receive a player-to-be-named or cash considerations from the Yankees.
